Andiron (one of pair)

Jack Staloff

National Gallery of Art

The sculpture depicts a man playing a wind instrument while wearing a traditional garment. The material appears textured, possibly stone or metal, with a monochrome shading. The figure is standing with legs apart, body slightly tilted, actively engaged in playing the instrument. The figure has a solid and slightly stout form, appearing three-dimensional yet somewhat flattened. A line drawing to the left provides a size reference with a scale in inches.
